Agreed, we've already fallen with perservering with the likes of Hussey, Haddin, Johnson and Ponting. Please dont fall for it again. No more of them ( or Harris who is just too injury prone). Go with the youth! Look what happened with Cummins. Let's move on and get the likes of Pattinson, Starc, Copeland, Wade in the team.IanG said:

All that's missing is a Roebuck article to sum it up. And another test or three.
Pfffttt

Luckiest batsman I have ever seen.
Have you ever seen that footage of him being bowled in South Africa, on the rebel tour I think.
Both bails are broken and lift off the stumps, only to fall back into place, so not out.
Must be on the net somewhere.

Shame the rain delay would've prevented many from seeing the finish. They're like diamonds, those sort of Tests. Edge-of-the-seat viewing.

Yes, I remember sitting up all night in 1981 watching the famous Botham / Willis / Lillee / Marsh turn-around Test.
It was magical. Still sticks in my mind.
The other was the Border / Thomson run chase at the MCG, circa 1982 or 83.
Yeah, terrific doco.Phantom said:
Yep. Unarguable it's brought more money to the sport and made it more attractive to kids who might otherwise opt for footy, eg. Keath and Buchanan. Whether it converts new fans to test cricket will take longer to play out.Freezer said:

Quit amid rumours of falling out with Graeme Smith & issues of selection under the racial quota system.
Yeah that match will be a whitewash.
As readers of the thread are aware leysy's pretty staunch in his backing of the Tasmanian team & the quality in it.
However this side is a shocker. Only 3 first choice players were available & with the depth of talent being understandably shallow given the size of the state leysy'd be suprised if Tas are even slightly competitive.
On Arthur, he would be the non-Australian to Coach wouldnt he.

He is but i also heard that we were the last International team to have a foreign coach . I am struggling to think who coached the Saffies who is foreign though. Did Robin Jackman coach them ?Leysy Days said:
All three against his former state as well. Thats gotta hurt. :hihi
He looks better suited to the One-day arena.
Will need to tighten his technique up if he's to forge a first class career.

Hopefully Arthur has the respect of the players and can work well with the selection panel.
After the disasters under the Nielsen/Hilditch regime, couldn't be any worse.
Welcome aboard Mickey. Hopefully you can guide us back up the rankings like you did with South Africa.

He got off to a flyer in his limited overs career too didn't he...I seem to remember Leysy wondering how we could let him slip from our grasp! :hihi
